My girls sleep through the night now. They dress themselves. They eat on their own. So why am I more stressed than ever?
Because the worry didn't go away. It just changed shape.
I went from checking if they were breathing to checking if they're okay. Like really okay. The kind of okay you can't measure with a thermometer.
My girls are 5 and 6 and I'm already losing sleep over friendships, mean girls, and the fact that I can't follow them into the playground and fix everything anymore.
This one's honest. Maybe too honest. But if you're a mum lying awake at 2am worrying about stuff that hasn't even happened yet — this one's for you.
